HI There,
I'm new in to towing so I'd like to make sure I'd be doing it safely. My truck is a RAM 1500 V8 HEMI with 3.55 axel ratio, and I'm planning to tow a 7000Lb (GWVR) RV with a 670Lb hitch weight. I will use a Curt WDH w/Sway Control.
Unfortunately my payload is only 1245Lb so by the time I add passengers, WD Hitch, and RV Hitch weight, I'm only 10lbs below. :-/
I have 2 questions:
1. Tire Load Rating= I have Nokia Attiva AT tires with a 115 Load Rating (i.e. 2649Lb). The truck GAWR is 39000Lb. Would they be ok for towing or would I need to upgrade to a higher Load rating? (i,e, >120 for 3000Lb+)
2. Do I need air bags in the rear suspension or will the WDH be enough?
Any advice is really appreciated.
